"The Long War"
Great books have only one mission: to touch and inspire people and, ultimately, make them better human beings.
Paul Desautels
Paul Desautels has always been fascinated by history and how men and women react under pressure. During his career as a Banker, Personnel and Corporate Recruiter, Director of Security, Inspector General, Teacher, and Keynote and Motivational Speaker, he spent a lifetime going over and analyzing the qualities that make some people do extraordinary deeds and become leaders and inspirational figures. In other words, what makes some people successful and able to change their environment and, in some cases, the world, while others cannot.
It was this vast and extensive interest in history that led him to write The Long War. This novel is the first of a series of seven novels that will be published under the general title of The War Chronicles. These novels, which will cover different historical periods, from the time of the Romans to the present, will show various men and women acting against a background of war, civil strife, and social change. In all of them the main focus will be on the human condition, how we can improve and change it, and, in some cases, transcend it, even. In fact, The War Chronicles will be nothing less than an attempt to explore the whole of the human condition through history.
